A Micro Aerial Vehicle with Precise Position and Attitude Sensors
Jan Skaloud, Martin Rehak, Romain Mabillard
This study shows the potential of navigation technologies in the field of position and orientation determination on a micro aerial vehicle (MAV), which weight does not exceed 5 kg. Although the MAV systems feature high flexibility and capability of flying ...
E Schweizerbartsche Verlagsbuchhandlung2014High Bandwidth CMOS Magnetic Sensors Based on the Miniaturized Circular Vertical Hall Device
Hall-effect devices make up by far the largest part of all magnetic sensors on the market today. The main reason is compatibility of Hall devices with modern semiconductor technology. In particular, integrated Hall sensor micro-systems fabricated in low-co ...
EPFL2011Automated Processing of GPS/MEMS-IMU Data for Position, Velocity and Attitude Determination
This master thesis deals with the problematic of the integration of Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements with inertial data acquired by a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) Inertial Measurement Units (IMU). This technology is employed for the p ...
2009Low Cost Earth Sensor Based on Oxygen Airglow (AIRES)
Edoardo Charbon, Herbert Shea, Noémy Scheidegger
This project has demonstrated the feasibility of a low-cost Earth sensor based on imaging oxygen airglow, allowing 0.4° accuracy from GEO under any illumination condition. Available Earth Sensor (ES) are based on the measurement of the earth’s infrared rad ...
2008Improved design of a silicon micromachined gyroscope with piezoresistive detection and electromagnetic excitation
In this paper, an improved design of a silicon micromachined gyroscope (angular rate sensor) is presented. It is based on the tuning fork principle and realized by combining two proof masses. The gyroscope is driven by electromagnetic forces and detects th ...
